Why is there always a shadow lurking?
How does one just keep living after things/experiences keep happening one after the other? When does one take a break? When does one breathe? When does one process it? When does one take time out to live?
There are countless things that happen in a day, more than 60,000 thoughts and stimuli that can alter our life, but we are programmed to register a few only. How does one choose to focus on the “good ones” at all times? But won’t the good ones be too much after a while?
Where were we taught to think that access to good things is a bad thing? Is it because then we take the bad things in a much worse manner? But if the bad things keep happening, then also we take them badly, we process them in a not-so-good manner! When has anyone ever managed to take a bad thing in a good light? So why weren’t we taught to enjoy the good stuff? Why is there a shadow lurking behind the good things? Why can’t we just be happy about the things we have and not think about the time when we won’t have them anymore?
Why were we not taught to be happy?
